Overview

• The Nursing and Midwifery Council confirmed it is gathering information to decide whether the concerns warrant a full probe.
• Four complaints were filed by members of the public following media coverage of the nurses’ objections to sharing a women’s changing room.
• Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Annice Grundy, and Tracey Hooper have a separate legal claim against their NHS trust for sexual harassment and discrimination, with a tribunal due later this month.
• The nurses, backed by the Christian Legal Centre, argue their actions are protected under the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act and say they complied with the NMC Code.
• Political figures, including Claire Coutinho, criticized the potential disciplinary action and called for ministerial intervention, as observers note NMC cases can take years.
